Subject: watchdog: sp5100_tco support for AMD V/R/E series

Hi all,

Arsalan reported that the upstream driver for sp5100_tco does not work
for embedded Ryzen. Meanwhile, I was able to confirm that on an R1505G:

[   11.607251] sp5100_tco: SP5100/SB800 TCO WatchDog Timer Driver
[   11.607337] sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Using 0xfed80b00 for watchdog MMIO address
[   11.607344] sp5100-tco sp5100-tco: Watchdog hardware is disabled

..and fix it:

diff --git a/drivers/watchdog/sp5100_tco.c b/drivers/watchdog/sp5100_tco.c
index 85e9664318c9..5482154fde42 100644

 		break;
 	}
 }

Does anyone have an idea if such unconditional setting could be 
problematic on older/different efch? We probe for that bit in
sp5100_tco_setupdevice but we never set it so far.

I'm missing specs...

Thanks,
Jan
